Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday reacted sternly to allegations, that her wife Ayesha Jehanzeb had allegedly battered her by her husband, causing her to be battered and prompting the chief minister to rule out any form of tolerance towards this situation.
An argument she had with her husband, Haris Ali, escalated into the alleged horrendous abuse Ayesha claims to have suffered as a result of the domestic spat. Ayesha filed a case against Haris under the charge of attempted murder after undergoing a medical examination with a medical professional.
In Pakistan as well as in other countries around the world, violence against women is a widespread phenomenon. The majority of the time, women are physically or emotionally abused by their families, leaving them traumatised and unable to function for a prolonged period of time.
Upon being arrested, he is currently being investigated by the police, and a case has been filed against him. According to the police, Haris has been charged with a crime.
As a result of the upsetting report, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz determined to take swift action against the accused, taking note of the assault on the popular TV host, and ordering the police to take action against him as soon as possible.
Additionally, the provincial chief executive has requested that the Inspector General of Police (IGP) present a detailed report on Ayesha’s case and instructed that the best medical care and security are provided to her as soon as possible.
In her words, “The protection of women is my top priority; violence against domestic workers or working women will not be tolerated.”
In the meantime, Ayesha’s husband, Haris, who was arrested on suspicion of murdering Ayesha, was brought before the court, where the judicial magistrate approved remanding Haris for two days.
Here it is important to mention that Ayesha had committed a crime against her husband at the Sarwar Road police station in which she had lodged a complaint. In accordance with the first information report (FIR), it appears that the accused assaulted her and injured her in various ways.
Approximately 27% of Pakistani women will face violence at some point in their lives, and about half will feel that they are safe and supported by their community at this point. This finding comes from a report published by the Asia and Pacific Policy Society.
Women experience violence in many different ways, such as rape, murder, sexual harassment, domestic violence, and forced marriages, to name a few.
The safety of women is not always guaranteed in their homes, in public places, or at their workplaces. The number of cases that are reported is believed to be far less than the actual amount.
There has been a recent observation by the Sindh High Court that despite the fact that the Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act 2013 has been promulgated, the government has still not implemented the law.
As a result, directions were issued to the government for the implementation of the Act to be carried out effectively and to initiate a campaign to raise public awareness about the Act’s objectives in the country.
